Best band this world will ever see. Some folk might disagree, but the world now is in such a mess, we will all be wishing we could go back in time to the swinging 60s.
Their music was like magic. It felt so good just listening to it. I was a kid in the 60’s and remember every song. They were a great escape from the intense 60’s.
I would not say that. They have been sued numerous times by other artists. Notice in this video that the electric guitars are not plugged in and they are lip synching?

"It Won't Be Long" was apparently deemed an "album track" or even "filler." But many Beatles songs in that category, along with "B" sides, were equal to their biggest hits.
I'm astonished that "It won't be Long" seemed to got lost in the shuffle... It's a total gem and every time I hear it my mind goes right back to being 9 years old in those magical early days of Beatlemania. That little re-occurring guitar riff George plays gives it the perfect touch.
Look what John writes at 7:40 - I Love Elvis...and in 1986 at the first inductions to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the honor of inducting the King of Rock and Roll belonged to the sons of Elvis' biggest fan, Julian and Sean Lennon
You mean you haven't twigged that they've ruined this clip by putting a 'modern' recording over the top? Sure they were miming but why the need to lose the atmosphere of the original 🤷 New doesn't mean better - soulless.
The change in their music from 1965 to 1967 is indescribable. There’s never been a band that accomplished so much in such a short time & sustained their momentum. It’s crazy.
Exactly. They were moving it forward and many others helped, but never had music advanced so quickly. The ideas, lyrics and instrumentation took a quantum leap and we were there with it. It was a beautiful era.
I forgot to mention The Beach Boys. They had Brian Wilson as their main creative force, while The Beatles often had to get help from George Martin to be as creative as them.
At my age now, 67, I feel very privileged to have experienced the 60's through the eyes of a impressionable young boy. It seemed that everyday something new and exciting was happening. JFK, The Beatles, the "Space Race" all pointing to the future. It was go go go and I loved every minute of it!
Me too. I've heard 3 original are in Witness Protection Program. Old Paul has been doing tours for a couple of years! I'm praying they all come out soon!
I love how Ringo is just dancing and jacking at the end with everybody in the crowd that's just so cool.. just a different personalities add to their specialness and that definitely helped the creativity in their music you can feel all the yin and yang between Paul and John and what a gift they were to all of us and still continue to be really.. rip George and John

They're miming here, but there's a live show of the New Musical Express poll winners 1964 here on RUclips. Have a look, they're brilliant on it, especially Can't Buy Me Love.
An innocent time. We had so much to look forward to. It was the beginning of a youth movement that the world had never seen before. Nothing lasts forever but the genius of the Beatles has.
How lucky was that generation? It was before my time. I’ve been a fan since I was 10 but I never had the chance to see them live. That must have been incredibly exciting and fun! I’m pleased that this exists on RUclips so I can watch it years later. The music has stood the test of time. Thanks!
This whole episode was released on a commercially available VHS. Some parts on this video however were replaced with higher quality clips from a Laserdisc compilation. Then everything was cleaned up digitally afterwards
Even though The Beatles are lip-syncing and miming to their recordings here, this is one of the only video performances where you can see John playing the guitar solo on You Can't Do That.
You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about… John is playing the rhythm guitar and George, which this moron director is not showing is playing the lead. And I’m a musician so I know what I’m talking about.
...... and this is how they charmed us all those years ago! On a Friday night about 6-15pm to a 12yr old boy this was amazing. Great memories of the greatest pop band ever!
They had a fresh new sound. An original style. They didn’t sound like anybody else. This was big factor of the appeal and popularity. Plus they were so charming, funny, hip and young. They couldn’t miss becoming the next big thing. Then they became bigger than Elvis. When Lennon said that he wanted to be bigger than Elvis, it seemed 😢😢a far fetched goal because he was a phenomenon. But they achieved it and became the GOAT because of their singing and songwriting. And they were witty and funny in interviews! Entertaining from the beginning. Amazing band
Soy fan de Elvis Presley, pero si es verdad su popularidad fue más que Elvis en los 60s pero Elvis se dedico a hacer películas fue ahí donde ellos entraron, pero si Elvis lo hubieran dejado ser lo que él quería hubiera sido más que ellos ya que ee.uu queria a elvis🎸
I love them both! Elvis was great but he was making silly movies when the Beatles broke through with the new style and sound. Elvis did make a comeback in 68 with the Comeback TV Special.
@@wb1985 Aren’t they? That was the first thing I noticed. Even during the Cover sings, I thought their vocals sounded different. They had a band chemistry that was their own.
John best friend Pet Shotton said in an interview that John Lennon told his classmates that his future band would be just as popular as Elvis and they laughed at him and teased him and nearly bullied for making such a statement. The funny thing is that John proved them wrong, Not only was the Beatles just as big as Elvis but they are still popular 53 years after they called it quits.
We don't say fellows here in Liverpool, it's fellas. Remember, anything ending in ING, you forget the g, so in scouse it would be goin, doin, singin, ect, if you listen carefully to the lads when they are speaking, you will what I mean.
The Beatles are a genuine emotion. They are a part of me. Inseparable now really. In the end, when Paul was signing autographs for people there, I wished so badly to just be close to their presence and touch them. But then, I know that I've become one with them.🥰
John is so annoyingly funny! Like in almost any part (interviews & performances), with his witty remarks, antics & facial expressions!😂😂 Ringo & George tried to joke ard too!😅😅i wonder what John & George were doing at the end of the vid while Paul was signing & Ringo dancing😋😋thnx for posting, Kitsu!🌈🌸
This is wonderful. I so enjoyed this phase of The Beatles-they seem to be really enjoying themselves and there was an innocence to their performances. Thank you!
Kudos to the cameraman for PARTIALLY getting John playing lead guitar on YOU CAN’T DO THAT…..although it is mainly on his strumming hand. Towards the end you get a “through the dancers” look at a few seconds of his left hand.
60’s what a wonderful exciting time , I left school in 1964=aged 15 ,started work , and out clubbing almost every night, clubs and music everywhere. I had a great time all through the 60’s. Now 75 what great memories I have . It was a really happy period for the U.K. ,possibly most of the world 😎
It is 2,024 and I just discovered this 1964 Beatles classic video black and white it is a restored video that's what it says but it's the Beatles here it is 1964 back then in and always the best group that there ever was even to this day in 2024 The Beatles will always be my number one band and I do have to add the rolling Stones were pretty good too but all the music was just perfectly orchestrated by the best musical artists of each of the Beatles you know when it comes down to it in the 1960s you're going to find the best rock and roll music that's legendary historical and and true to everything and that will be forever and beyond in time The Beatles will always be the number one of the 60s but of course there was the stones and there was led Zeppelin I think the three top ones of the 60s made the list really excellent and perfect in every way everything was just perfect back then in the 60s❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I was 11 years old, an American devotee, and never saw this on American TV. I'm wondering if there is anyone in the audience who saw this clip. Who was that lucky lass who got to dance with Ringo? Where is she now? Does anyone have those precious signature cards still? What a wonderful slice of our lives!
7:26 as they played This Boy and the Fab4 started to do their silly stuff, I kept thinking to myself, "Oh dear, why do I them so much? I can't even handle this much love now." Started missing it all although I wasn't even there that day.
Loved this it took me right back to the 60s loved this music thanks from a scouser in perth WA now pushing 75 years of age, had a good ole sing song, remember dancing to this music so much fun x
Great upload. I recorded these onto vhs when they were being broadcast on channel 4 back in the 80s. Still got them too. Thanks for uploading this. Love watching these.
My favorite part of this video is right at 2:00 - just as they are going to the bridge in "It won't be long" (since you left me....) - There was this glance between John and Paul - John looks over at Paul with this cheeky grin and Paul reacts almost blushingly coy, like a girl getting flirted with....It was just a very short acknowledgement between them - but you could tell how fond they were of each other and how closely they communicated.
There's something going on between John and Alma Cogan there and Cynthia has since confirmed it was happening. Alma Cogan {who was 8 years older than Lennon} died 2 years after this and Cynthia has claimed that John only found Yoko in his grief. Cynthia also reckons that both women were Aunt Mimi replacement figures. Deep but plausible
I'm an American, and I appreciate seeing "Ready, Steady, Go" for the first time!! With the awesome Beatles, miming included!! Ha! So even in these relatively early days, miming was big in Britain too, eh?
yes, easier for the bands to do when they were spending a lot of time touring already. in august 1966 the musicians union banned miming on bbc shows (i think itv/granada banned it earlier in march). this was actually a very controversial decision and was publicly criticised by groups because it was 1) taxing on them with their already busy schedules and 2) becoming increasingly more difficult as pop music was developing and becoming more complex. they quickly revised it so that only the singing had to be live. this continued until the early 80s
John's style of humor and sarcasm borders on being abrasive or even disrespectful. That, and the way he makes it so obvious that he's lip-syncing the songs, makes makes him basically the original punk, haha!
Exactly right, John Lennon was far more intelligently confrontational vs 'polite society ' in 1964 than his pale copy 'John Lydon' (Rotten) who were a joke as rebels. John Lennon would have had contempt for the pointless 'Filth and the Fury' from an original 1976 punk.@@BugRib
@@vladdrakul7851 - Hmm, I’ve never really delved into the Sex Pistols’ catalog, but I do love “Anarchy in the UK”, as well as Sid Vicious’s take on Sinatra’s “My Way”. What do you not like about the Sex Pistols? Anyway, now I’m feeling an urge to go check them out, haha.
John Lennon is not accepting things the way they are as "that's how it is". He wonders why are things the way they are, what is this doing to me, what do I think about all this? And because so much came onto them every day John could not keep up with digesting all this. So he kind of fled into those idiotic grimaces and spastic movements.
I really hope someone from the audience sees this .......what a thrill ! Keith lived in Totnes and had an air museum . I delivered Keiths new Triumph Stag in 1970 as a 17 year old trainee panelbeater. My late brother saw the Beatles at Torquay Town Hall . Thankyou .This is why l love facebook !
A truly wonderful example of the glory of the early Beatles. I love ALL the 'eras'! if anything I feel that their weakest year was their last 1969. This from my favorite early LP 'With the Beatles'!
Whole lotta lip syncin goin on. Talk about payin yer dues! Now this is still, no, it's timelessly exciting. Aside from, well next to, their terrific music, the thing about the Beatles was their talent for bringing everybody in, and making us all smile SO MUCH just seeing and listening to them. Great example here, thank you!
The Musicans Union were unhappy with so many pop performers miming. Overtime Ready Steady Go was probably the only progamme by 1965 until its end where there were actual live performances. Unfortunately, many of these including Jimi Hendrix on RSG no longer exist. The last early Beatles live TV performance where they were playing their instruments, was on ABC TV's Blackpool Big Night Out in August 1965.
Having the Beatles lip-sync and not play their instruments is kind of an insult to them. On the Ed Sullivan show they played for real and they were fantastic
It often depended on how much quality of sound the TV studio could produce. If the studio did not lend itself to good sound, the recommendation was to lip synch. No one lip synched on the Ed Sullivan show because that studio provided excellent sound.
Boomer here. Not easy to explain the fab four phenomenon that was not simply musical but also cultural. The so called "greatest generation" (MY PARENTS) that had lived through the depression and WW2 had problems with it. Almost overnight the crew cut went out of style, and long hair became the thing. In my small town barbers went out of business. The bIg band sound of Glenn Miller and Duke Ellington that my folks liked vanished the British Invasion of rock bands began. Then came punk music. No one is left of the Beatles but Paul and Ringo.
Best band this world will ever see. Some folk might disagree, but the world now is in such a mess, we will all be wishing we could go back in time to the swinging 60s.

Ringo dancing around with the crowd is brilliant. He hasn't changed.
"It Won't Be Long" is one of the most underrated songs the Fab Four ever recorded.
Yep. It's a shame they never played it live (non lip-sync).
"underrated" is bogus.
"It Won't Be Long" was apparently deemed an "album track" or even "filler." But many Beatles songs in that category, along with "B" sides, were equal to their biggest hits.

Sure they were miming but why the need to lose the atmosphere of the original 🤷 New doesn't mean better - soulless.
This is probably the most god-awful piece of lip-syncing fake strumming I have ever seen in my life. A marvel!
He wrote that as a joke, as if he thought the drawing of Paul was Elvis. It's not him expressing love for Elvis.

Not since and never ever will there be a group better than the Beatles!
You do realize that this performance was lip-synced, don’t you?
This is so charming! How lucky these kids were to be up close and personal with the Beatles!! WOWZA!
First time I ever heard Paul's bass line on "This Boy". Really good...!
It’s cool that you found the whole show, rather than just their performance!
This whole episode was released on a commercially available VHS. Some parts on this video however were replaced with higher quality clips from a Laserdisc compilation. Then everything was cleaned up digitally afterwards
John was so ahead of his time I see why their stupid questions pissed him off!! .. The hair sniffing bit was priceless!! GO JOHN!!
Was totally cool of Ringo to be out there dancing with non-celebrities gals. I loved seeing that❣️
The girl Ringo's dancing with was a celebrity. It's the female host, Cathy McGowan.
Even though The Beatles are lip-syncing and miming to their recordings here, this is one of the only video performances where you can see John playing the guitar solo on You Can't Do That.
That’s right, even if 80% of it is just showing the strumming. I don’t know if any others, do you?
They didn't lip sync, the video was overdubbed with the released version. Probably some copyright issue.

The difference between Paul and John and how they deal with an interview is huge. Lennon's wit and humor can't be matched.

My favorite part of this video is right at 2:00 - just as they are going to the bridge in "It won't be long" (since you left me....) - There was this glance between John and Paul - John looks over at Paul with this cheeky grin and Paul reacts almost blushingly coy, like a girl getting flirted with....It was just a very short acknowledgement between them - but you could tell how fond they were of each other and how closely they communicated.
Friday evenings were great, with. Ready steady go on TV. excellent music throughout
Just the fact John made the joke and was like 'oh shit!' with her and the sign, he's too cute man!!
How cool to see the whole show, to be there. What a time it was.
There's something going on between John and Alma Cogan there and Cynthia has since confirmed it was happening. Alma Cogan {who was 8 years older than Lennon} died 2 years after this and Cynthia has claimed that John only found Yoko in his grief. Cynthia also reckons that both women were Aunt Mimi replacement figures. Deep but plausible
I don't blame John. Cynthia was a bore. She was lucky John ever gave her the time of day.
@@johnnybmean74 Yes, Yoko was/is certainly "interesting." (That's not a compliment.)
Coisa linda os Beatles!parece tão atual......tinha 10 anos nessa época, até hoje os venero!
The Beatles still rock !!!
Of all the groups that DIDN'T need to lip sync, they made the Beatles do it.
It was the thing to do then, no monitors till much later
@@jamesfitzgerald6636 Sullivan was 100% live. Not the greatest mix in the world but it was actually live.
One request: Please don't ever delete these videos. Please... I'd be forever grateful.
There were crowds of fans around them, but they’re not getting mobbed. They still have a little room to breathe.
I'm an American, and I appreciate seeing "Ready, Steady, Go" for the first time!! With the awesome Beatles, miming included!! Ha! So even in these relatively early days, miming was big in Britain too, eh?
yes, easier for the bands to do when they were spending a lot of time touring already. in august 1966 the musicians union banned miming on bbc shows (i think itv/granada banned it earlier in march). this was actually a very controversial decision and was publicly criticised by groups because it was 1) taxing on them with their already busy schedules and 2) becoming increasingly more difficult as pop music was developing and becoming more complex. they quickly revised it so that only the singing had to be live. this continued until the early 80s
Greats remembering the Beatles 60s🎸🎸🎸🥁
Just simply they had unique characters and they enjoyed what they were good at ..
John is perpetually confrontational at this stage. And rightly so. He can see how silly it all is.
John's style of humor and sarcasm borders on being abrasive or even disrespectful. That, and the way he makes it so obvious that he's lip-syncing the songs, makes makes him basically the original punk, haha!
Exactly right, John Lennon was far more intelligently confrontational vs 'polite society ' in 1964 than his pale copy 'John Lydon' (Rotten) who were a joke as rebels. John Lennon would have had contempt for the pointless 'Filth and the Fury' from an original 1976 punk.@@BugRib
@@vladdrakul7851 - Hmm, I’ve never really delved into the Sex Pistols’ catalog, but I do love “Anarchy in the UK”, as well as Sid Vicious’s take on Sinatra’s “My Way”.
What do you not like about the Sex Pistols?
Anyway, now I’m feeling an urge to go check them out, haha.
John Lennon is not accepting things the way they are as "that's how it is". He wonders why are things the way they are, what is this doing to me, what do I think about all this? And because so much came onto them every day John could not keep up with digesting all this. So he kind of fled into those idiotic grimaces and spastic movements.
@@vladdrakul7851perfeitamente ❤❤❤
I really hope someone from the audience sees this .......what a thrill ! Keith lived in Totnes and had an air museum . I delivered Keiths new Triumph Stag in 1970 as a 17 year old trainee panelbeater. My late brother saw the Beatles at Torquay Town Hall . Thankyou .This is why l love facebook !
This was a great show!
A truly wonderful example of the glory of the early Beatles. I love ALL the 'eras'! if anything I feel that their weakest year was their last 1969. This from my favorite early LP 'With the Beatles'!
ringo dancing in the crowd at the end, so cool,
Whole lotta lip syncin goin on. Talk about payin yer dues! Now this is still, no, it's timelessly exciting. Aside from, well next to, their terrific music, the thing about the Beatles was their talent for bringing everybody in, and making us all smile SO MUCH just seeing and listening to them. Great example here, thank you!
Mal Evans at 18:22 keith Fordyce was an excellent presenter
The ending with Ringo dancing with all the other kids.... Just wow.
Wonderful... thanks! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
...and George? Hilarious, and shredding...
Loving Ringo too, and they CRUSHED it on You Can't Do That!
shred? crush? Try expanding your vocabulary.

Oo,
"Playing suuuper good"
&
"Tap-tap-tapping so great"
Everyone's a critic
The Musicans Union were unhappy with so many pop performers miming. Overtime Ready Steady Go was probably the only progamme by 1965 until its end where there were actual live performances. Unfortunately, many of these including Jimi Hendrix on RSG no longer exist. The last early Beatles live TV performance where they were playing their instruments, was on ABC TV's Blackpool Big Night Out in August 1965.
Get back to 3:10 and 3:27, to see Paul guffawing at John's antics
5:16 only John or the other Beatles could do that and not make me feel awkward about it.
Having the Beatles lip-sync and not play their instruments is kind of an insult to them. On the Ed Sullivan show they played for real and they were fantastic
I think this show was just not set up for that. Put the band in the center and have all the kids right up next to them seems to be the format.
It often depended on how much quality of sound the TV studio could produce. If the studio did not lend itself to good sound, the recommendation was to lip synch. No one lip synched on the Ed Sullivan show because that studio provided excellent sound.
Kudos to Ed Sullivan for all his musical guests playing live.
Saw them live twice, 1964 and 1965. Hammersmith Odeon. Tickets ten shillings Absolutely fantastic😍
Boomer here. Not easy to explain the fab four phenomenon that was not simply musical but also cultural.
The so called "greatest generation" (MY PARENTS) that had lived through the depression and WW2 had problems with it.
Almost overnight the crew cut went out of style, and long hair became the thing. In my small town barbers went
out of business. The bIg band sound of Glenn Miller and Duke Ellington that my folks liked vanished the British
Invasion of rock bands began. Then came punk music. No one is left of the Beatles but Paul and Ringo.
Great! Thanks for sharing! :-)
And THEN 1-5 on the charts....just turned 70 on Dec 7....watched them from the beginning ti the end....and number one AGAIN😺😺✌️✌️✌️
You're doing the important work. 🔥
18.40 - John is signing autographs when the studio audio plays Mr Postman. He quickly turns around to see if Paul is miming to the track.
This is GREAT!
